It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. After my Saturday morning Hip-Hop dance class, I saw Santa and his wife selling Christmas trees at the Masonic Lodge. The funds from the sale will be distributed to local charities.
Christmas Trees
Choring Around
It may look like Christmas but thankfully the weather was more reminiscent of October. It was comfortably mild. I finally got around to tidying up the garage. Most importantly was moving the snowblower into position and putting the lawn mower against the wall, out of the way. One of many advantages of an electric lawnmower is that it has no fluids and can be stored upright against a wall. There was a layer of leaves and other debris in the garage that needed to be swept up. Look pretty good right now.
Financial Rewards
It was a quite a day for my financial well being. When I retired I executed some stock options. Recently they had a reverse stock split. Shouldn’t that be called a stock consolation? As a result some fractional shares were created. Since they cannot hold fractional shares I received a check in the amount of six cents. I can’t wait to cash it.
Still six cents is six times as much as I made with the advertising on this website. Today the estimate windfall is one cent. The coffers are also empty with my donation widgets. It’s a good thing I do this for the fun of it.
Haluski
It was a good day for some comfort food. Lunch was easy, I heated up some of the fish and corn chowder that I got yesterday at the “Soup Caboose”. It is my favorite so far. For dinner I made a easy Polish dish of cabbage, egg noodles and Kielbasa. It is not very healthy but quite filling.
Daily Picture Theme – #Low
I participate in a daily picture challenge on the social media site Spoutible. Everyday there is a different subject announced as a Daily Picture Theme. I select an appropriate  photo from my collection to share. I had been sharing these exclusively on Improves With Age, my Substack newsletter, but decided to offer multiple photos on this platform.
Today’s theme is #Low and I decided to choose photos that indicate a low water level such as low tides. Enjoy.
